Y Trail is a short, easy mountain biking route in New York, about 1.2 miles from the community of Lake Mohegan. The trail is an out-and-back with a total length of about 0.34 miles and a total climb of 36 feet, so it's a quick ride that fits easily into a longer day on the surrounding network of trails. The route is nearly flat, with the low point at 555 feet and the high at 589 feet. It's a low-effort way to get on a bike and ride a little before heading to other trails in the area. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Shrub Oak show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 75°F, with July the warmest month at about 84°F. Several other mountain biking routes sit just 0.1 mile away, including the G Trail and the Taconic Bridge Trail. Climbers can find Blue Mountain Park and Rocky Glen Pond about 5.7 miles off.
